This is a black and white woodcut print depicting a fantastical scene. A large, stylized bird with long, pointed feathers is the central focus. A person, appearing to be a woman with long hair, is riding on the bird's back. The bird is flying over a body of water with swirling, stylized waves. Above, the sky is filled with swirling clouds and what appear to be dragon-like creatures or cloud formations. The style is reminiscent of Art Nouveau or Japanese woodblock prints, with strong lines and a focus on pattern and form. The overall impression is one of myth, fantasy, and movement. The print is signed 'B. Esser' in the lower right corner and has a date '1929' in the lower left corner, along with a small symbol.
